how to I get my 7 month old to take formula?

Share

My son has been breastfeed every since he was born. The problem is that he as only gained an oz in the last 2 months. His doctor wants him to have 8 oz of formals every day along with me breastfeeding him. I have tried every thing that I can think of to get him to take it, ideally from a bottle. I have tried, several different bottles some of them I have spent over $15 for, sippy cups, regular cups, med syringe, making every one in the house drink out of bottles for a week to get him interested. I just don't know what to do.
